A senior at UMass Dartmouth was visited by federal agents two months ago, after he requested a copy of Mao Tse-Tung's tome on Communism called "The Little Red Book."
I'm so glad the Thought Police are on the job, keeping our youth safe from communism and other Disruptive Thoughts.
Give them another few years, and we'll be seeing similar stories about students who tried to get hold of the subversive works of Tom Payne and that heathen bastard Jefferson.
When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.
